THE PASSEE GIRL.

A Young Woman Who For the Most Part
Charms by Her CheerfuIness.
The passee girl is not unknown. Younger
women look at her with some disdain. while
they confide in her, and the men OF hec pc
riod do not look at her at all, so TO speak.
People often complain that she dresses too
young that she affects youthful and girlish
airs, that she chooses her friends from
younger generation. that she IS not resigned
TO growing old, and that i;e< conversation
and manners are of a juvenile style. They
do not reflect that 1t is every ones duty &c
make the most of ones self. We do not feel
old because others regard IL 80, or bec ause
time has touched us roughlyt no one looks
so old in her own Iookin g glass dS in the
prejudiced mirror Of anOther's eyes. There
seems to be species Of jealousy among tie
girls of the period ii the pasSee girl has the
bad taste to look younger than her age-a
jealousy which is incomprehsnsible in view
of the fact that the first is the undisputed
possession of the youth OF which the other
only wears the tawdry imitation: but the
young girl seems TO be afraid lest the senio.
should usurp her kingdom and carry OF her
vassals, being vaguely conscious that she
has other attractions than the lrIdes-

herself. The passee girl for thu
most part charms by her cheerfulness, il
nothing else. She knows too well that il
will not do for her to indulge in megrims.

The Republican party came into con-
trol of the Government through the
Presidential election of 1860. and went
out of power through the Presidential
election of 1884. The seven National
contests included within this period
tell the story of its rise and fall. and
the record is full of instruction and
warning which can not be too carefully
needed ut time when the future of
parties is SO generally discussed "a

bringing together the Republican votes
at each of these elections in the close

The storm was nov raging in its full

driving against the chateau walls The
wind howled about the house-corners and
down the chiInneys. Peal after peal of
deafening thunder rang through the

rushing aimlessly around, questioning the
